    very happy with this considering I don’t know what the Dickens the clue was referring to.

    But dyke drama and word puzzles I am familiar with

  3. When I saw the theme my first thought was “The Fingersmith” and then somehow it took me a while to find “Tipping”. Waters definitely has a niche…

  7. I was thinking of the wrong Dickens but once I figured out that it wasn’t referring to the creator of Foolish Child, I got it. Thanks for the little dopamine shot on a gray, blustery morning.

  8. My brain still has trouble coming up with words that aren’t exactly five letters. But once I got the first word the clue did the rest!

  11. Someone else once said starting with the short word is a mistake. I should’ve listened.
